You’re looking at the Corinthians female football squad who came back at full force this year to dominate women’s football in Brazil. They have enjoyed a six-month winning streak, winning 2-1 in the semifinals of the Sao Paulo Championship on Saturday. My favourite female footballer, Cristiane, plays for Corinthians so I’m a little biased here.
Marta said last year that women’s football in Brazil received very little support from the government. It looks like things may be picking up after all. TV Stations all over the country opted to broadcast the Championship and female football has been voted as the country’s “second most preferred sport to watch”. Of course, the top spot belongs to their male counterparts. Dema, who coached the Brazilian women’s national team between 1993 to 1995 said, “We respect all adversaries but Corinthians is the champion this year.”
